1. Acceptance of these terms
By joining, booking a class, claiming a free trial, attending training or otherwise participating in Stand Up Boxing activities, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these terms and agree to be bound by them. If the participant is under 18, a parent or legal guardian must provide the required consent and risk acknowledgement on the participant’s behalf.
2. Voluntary participation and assumption of risk
You choose to participate voluntarily. You acknowledge that boxing and related training may involve obvious, inherent and significant physical risks even when reasonable care, coaching and safety procedures are used. You accept the ordinary and inherent risks associated with the activities you choose to undertake, including the risk of serious injury or death.
You must follow coach and staff instructions, use equipment responsibly, train within your ability, stop if you feel unwell or unsafe, and immediately report injuries, illness, unsafe conduct or damaged equipment. Sparring is not compulsory and may only occur with coach approval.
3. Health and medical responsibility
You are responsible for deciding whether you are medically fit to participate. You must disclose relevant injuries, medical conditions, medications or limitations that may affect safe participation. If you are unsure whether training is suitable for you, you should obtain medical advice before taking part. Stand Up Boxing does not provide medical diagnosis or personalised medical advice.
4. Recreational services and limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, including where permitted for the supply of recreational services, you agree that Stand Up Boxing, its owners, coaches, employees and contractors are not liable for loss, damage, injury, illness, disability or death resulting from the materialisation of the ordinary, obvious or inherent risks of the recreational activities in which you voluntarily participate.
Where the law permits a contractual exclusion, restriction or modification of consumer guarantees for recreational services, you agree that liability is excluded or limited to the maximum extent lawfully permitted for death, physical or mental injury, disease or other harm arising from participation in those recreational services.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, duty or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. These terms do not protect Stand Up Boxing from liability where the law does not permit that liability to be excluded.
5. Risk warning for recreational activity
This section is intended to operate as a risk warning. The activities offered by Stand Up Boxing include sport and recreational activities involving physical exertion and, depending on the class, contact. Risks include falls, collisions, accidental contact, overexertion, equipment-related injury and injuries caused by another participant. Some risks may be obvious and some may arise despite reasonable care.
6. Conduct and safety
You must behave respectfully, comply with gym rules and staff directions, and not participate while affected by alcohol, illicit drugs or any condition that makes participation unsafe. Stand Up Boxing may refuse or end participation where staff reasonably consider that continued participation creates a safety or conduct risk.
7. Free trial classes
A free trial is limited to one eligible coached class per person unless the gym agrees otherwise. Open Gym, sparring, invitation-only fighters sessions and other restricted activities are not included unless specifically approved by a coach. No payment is required for the standard free first class.
8. Class bookings and cancellations
Members are expected to book classes through the member portal. During the introductory policy phase, booking is required but cancellation and no-show penalties may be disabled. When the accountability phase is activated, the configured cancellation cutoff is 2 hours. Repeated late cancellations or no-shows may result in temporary online booking restrictions when the capacity-enforcement policy is active.
9. Membership payments
Ongoing memberships are charged at the rate and frequency shown for the selected plan. Upfront membership options are paid in advance. Payment obligations, renewal arrangements and any applicable cancellation notice are shown during registration and in the member portal.
10. Ongoing membership cancellation
A member may submit a cancellation request through the portal. The configured notice period is 14 days unless a different term applies to the member’s selected plan or is required by law.
11. Upfront memberships and refunds
Upfront membership fees are generally non-refundable after the relevant service period begins, except where a refund or other remedy is required by the Australian Consumer Law or another applicable law.
12. Membership pauses
A member may request a 14-day pause where that option is available. A pause is not effective until approved and recorded by the gym.
13. Personal property
You are responsible for your personal belongings. To the extent permitted by law, Stand Up Boxing is not responsible for loss, theft or damage to personal property left at the premises.
14. Photography and marketing
Stand Up Boxing will obtain any consent required before using an identifiable participant’s image for promotional purposes where such consent is required. You may tell staff if you do not wish to appear in general class photography.
15. Changes to these terms
Stand Up Boxing may update these terms from time to time. Material changes that affect existing memberships will be communicated where reasonably required. The version presented when a waiver or acknowledgement is accepted may be retained with the member record.
16. Contact
Questions about these terms should be sent to info@standupboxingcastlehill.com.au or through the contact page.
These terms are written for the Stand Up Boxing Castle Hill operating model and are intended to preserve rights and obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded. Because enforceability can depend on the exact service, participant and circumstances, the club should still have its final waiver and membership contract reviewed by an Australian lawyer.
